HANG OUT, ROCK ON - View this location on map Check out the latest indie bands at Doug Fir Lounge, connected to the trendy Jupiter Hotel ( 503-231-9663; www.dougfirlounge.com). It is Portland's primo spot to hang out, drink beer (draft Black Butte porter for $4), rub shoulders with the young and pierced and catch emerging groups like the Decembrists. The room is surprisingly modern and woodsy for a dance club, with gold-toned lighting, a fire pit and walls clad in Douglas fir logs. NYT 830 East Burnside Street, Portland, OR Nightlife
